Mold Cleanup
When a customer walks into their home and begins to smell mold, or see black spots, or starts to get sick from their home: they dread the M word.
In our area, we tend to have mold damage that starts the most prevalentily in the summer months. The humidity has started, so mold is bound to be right around any corner.
The problem with mold is that it creates an ugly scene on your bedroom wall, or favorite piece of furniture. Your friends at SERVPRO® of Pulaski and Laurel Counties are here to help with the following:
- Black Mold Cleanup
- Mold Inspections
- Basement Mold Cleanup
- Bathroom Mold Cleanup
- Attic Mold Remediation
- Black Mold Damage Repairs
Whenever we deal with mold, our procedures change based on the variety of structure. Once a fungus develops, it grows structures called hyphae in all directions. These structures then release the seed-like spores that can travel around your home until they find other wet, organic materials to grow on.
We want to make sure you hope is safe from current and future mold growth. Call our offices today to see how our team of certified specialists can help your home. The sooner you get mold growth halted, the better.

Mold testing for your home or business!
Once you discover mold in your home, the next step is to call SERVPRO® of Pulaski and Laurel Counties for mold testing. Our office is licensed to perform mold inspections and has developed a protocol.

Air and surface samples are taken from every room in the house or apartment along with a laboratory report to explain the findings, only if needed.
After the results come in--
One of our inspectors sits down with each customer to explain not just the results, but every step we took during the inspection.
Also, we provide an estimate of what steps we take to treat and remove the mold along with how much each task costs. We want to provide the best possible solution for your home or business.

We can help with Mold Damage
10/16/2020 (Permalink)
Mold problems? Let us help!
The most common reasons for mold growth are humidity, water leaks, and condensation. Condensation generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises, cools, and loses its capacity to hold vapor. As a result, excess water vapor condenses to form cloud droplets. Those droplets can create a mold issue.
When you suspect you have mold damage, it is best to call a professional. Mold damage can create a lot of issues down the road if not taken care of right away.
Mold is known for hiding and usually grows behind the walls and out of sight. Mold likes these spaces because they hold large amounts of humid moist air. To find mold, most of the time you will need to have a professional preform an invasive inspection.
Hire a professional--
You want a professional who knows what to look for and why. When mold is present there are certain measures you have to take to make sure it is properly removed.
Call our offices today!
If you suspect you may have a mold problem call the professionals at SERVPRO® of Pulaski and Laurel Counties today. We offer mold testing so we can help you in the most efficient and effective way possible.

It's that Holly Jolly Time of year Again
11/21/2019 (Permalink)
SERVPRO® of Pulaski and Laurel Counties is here to help with all your cleaning, and tree cleaning, needs for your home. Our number is 606-877-2160.
The Holiday Season is here!
It's time to get your Christmas trees out of storage and back into your living room. Most people use artificial tree during the holiday season. When something has been put away in storage for most of the year --it can collect dust, mold, or other particles you do not want in the house with your family.
Here are a few cleaning tips to use this season to make your tree troubles "Like it never even happened:"
Dust
One of the foremost necessities in cleaning an artificial Christmas tree is to remove any dust clinging to its branches and needles. Using a static cling cloth, gently wipe it along the branches.
Shake with Salt
If your tree needs something a bit more intensive, use some salt from your kitchen. This is a method that is effective for small trees or larger trees that come apart into smaller pieces. Add small trees or tree pieces to a large bag with a handful or two of Kosher salt, then vigorously shake. The salt will act as an abrasive cleaner, scrubbing away any dirt from branches.
A Wash Down
For heavy cleaning, a light dusting won't be enough. At the start of decorating season, carefully wipe each branch down with a gentle, wet sponge. This will pick up the dust and dirt that settled between the needles while the tree was in storage.
Deodorization
After your tree is clean, you'll still need to deodorize it from time to time. You can hide a scented air freshener intended in the branches of your tree to give it a seasonal scent. It's also a good idea to spritz the branches with an air freshener to keep the basement or storage scent away.
Professional Services
If you are too busy this holiday season to clean your tree, call a professional. SERVPRO® of Pulaski and Laurel Counties is here to help with all your cleaning, and even tree cleaning, needs for your home.

1/21/2019 (Permalink)
These pretty icicles turn into pretty ugly water damage!
During the winter time, there a variety of winter weather conditions that can alter your home or business. One type of damaging winter weather types is an ice dam.
Ice dams are what happen when melted snow freezes at the bottom of your roof and melted water gets trapped by ice. The water damage occurs on your roof and finds it's way into your attic or other parts of your home.
There are ways to prevent ice dams in your home, so that you do not have to call SERVPRO for water damage remediation:
- make ceilings air tight so no warm air enters the attic,
- replace old lighting with sealed fixtures,
- boost ceiling/ roof insulation ,
- insulate or seal attic access doors, and
- fix cracks in your chimney flashing.
When removing ice and snow there are some tips to keep in mind. The last thing you want to do is damage your roof during the process of protecting your home. Here's what NOT to do:
1. Steer clear of removing ice with salt, chemicals or chippers.
2. Do NOT install heating cable.
3. Do NOT add roof vents that can compound the problem.
Use these tips in your home or business to successfully avoid water or ice damage. We hope you do not have to deal with ice dams or water damage in your home, but sometimes nature causes damage no matter what we do.

SERVPRO Spooks It Forward, Again

Our annual Pumpkin Decorating contest went off without a hitch for the third year in a row. We had an amazing turn out with almost ten pumpkins entered. We had a ton of people participating whether they were liking or sharing or the one who wanted to win.
The past two years the stakes have been higher, because not only does the winner get a free lunch for their office; they get to give a charity of their choice get $200 donated from SERVPRO.
This year the winner of the pumpkin decorating contest came from Williamsburg. They chose the Humane Society of Whitley County.
SERVPRO loves helping their community during their time of need when it comes to water, fire, and mold damage. We love it even more to give back to our community whenever we can!
